[QUOTE="klmno, post: 303859, member: 3699"] Hmmm....any chance it could be having the opposite effect and making him depressed? I mention that because the first signs of depression that my son exhibited (before therapist, psychiatrist, medications, anything) were disruption of sleep, grumpiness, being emotional AND picking at his arms until they bled and scabbed. I suppose it could be anxiety, too though. My son bites his nails to the quick when it's anxiety. Either way, it sounds like it's either an effect of the medication or stress. I guess you had it narrowed down that much though already, huh? I just read your second post- FWIW, I'm a firm believer that depression/anxiety and bipolar are on a spectrum. [/QUOTE]
